Lolita
Humbert Humbert - scholar, aesthete and romantic - has fallen completely and utterly in love with
Lolita Haze, his landlady's gum-snapping, silky skinned twelve-year-old daughter. Reluctantly
agreeing to marry Mrs Haze just to be close to Lolita, Humbert suffers greatly in the pursuit of
romance; but when Lo herself starts looking for attention elsewhere, he will carry her off on a
desperate cross-country misadventure, all in the name of Love. Hilarious, flamboyant, heartbreaking and full of ingenious word play, Lolita is an immaculate, unforgettable masterpiece of
obsession, delusion and lust.
